Don't be stunned, turn around! This was a question on the minds of Soviet commanders. And the question that Karjus was thinking about at this time was how to go around the rear of the Soviet tank.

Because of the lack of sufficient intelligence, the two sides were already in a scuffle, and he did not know which direction the opposing tanks were coming from.

He didn't know much about the news, only one of the other party's tanks fired a shot at his tail just now, and now where the other party was, he couldn't be sure at all.

It's like two people who go around each other's back roads in a street fight, everyone doesn't wait in place, they all keep changing their positions.

In this case, who can go around behind the other depends on luck and skill. Theoretically, going around a big circle is the safest, but going around a big circle is the easiest to lose the target.

Between the two options, the commander needs to weigh and analyze. It is also necessary to combine the battlefield situation, as well as the nearby terrain and terrain, which is quite professional and complex.

Karjus also knew that now was the time to test his command skills. While his tank was detouring, he himself was observing the nearby terrain.

"Car number 4! Did you plug the hole? Is it blocked? Concerned that Soviet tanks would continue to pour into Red Tekach, Karyus questioned over the radio.

The commander of car No. 4 heard the call and immediately replied: "I fired a blocking shot, and I didn't see a tank passing directly in front of me, but a lot of infantry rushed over." ”

It seems that the situation is not as bad as Caljus fears, and it is not the best situation. The Soviet soldiers on foot did not know when they would enter Red Tekach, and it was estimated that they would also make it difficult for him.

After all, the opponent can force him to retreat back into his tank by simply shooting with small arms, so that the advantage of lookout does not exist.

The Soviet tanks in Red Tekach must be eliminated as soon as possible! This is the idea of Karjus.

He ordered the tanks to turn around and rushed back to the mouth of the alley where four enemy tanks had just been destroyed, while looking around.

When the Leopard tank rumbled by. Karjus saw in the rubble that a German soldier raised his arm, pointed ahead, and held out two more fingers.

Directly in front of him, to the right hand of Karjus. It was a crossroads, and after seeing his gesture, Karyus understood.

"Prepare to fire!" Karjus gave his own order, and then the Leopard stopped its advance and waited for the other side to come to the door.

At his leg, the loader William had already loaded an armor-piercing round, waiting for Captain Tyre to fire the deadly shot.

"Boom, boom." With a rhythmic sound, a T-34 tank drove out at the intersection.

Another Soviet tank was driving almost side-by-side with this one, and Karjuus did not expect that the opposing tank would be in a parallel formation, not a column.

In fact, this is also a way for the Soviet tankers to have no choice, because in the case of a column, as long as one of the leading tanks is destroyed, the tanks behind are unable to see the target because of the explosion and black smoke.

Therefore, this time the Soviets adopted a horizontal formation, so that the sides could cover each other, not to mention, there was also the advantage of two guns on the front.

The premise is that the road must be wide enough to advance in this way, and the streets of Hongtkach have long been in ruins, so the road is very wide, which fully meets the tactical requirements of the Soviet army.

They also did not expect that their horizontal tactics had long been clearly seen by the German troops holding their positions in the city.

Just now Karyus was worried that the other party would find him first, because there was no German infantry in that direction, so he could not find these Soviet tanks that entered Red Tekach in advance.

Now the local infantry has discovered the target and indicated the direction in which it is, so Karyus is not worried at all, and it can be said that the victory is in his hands.

The Soviet commander was sitting in his tank and was looking in the direction to his right, when suddenly he heard an explosion close at hand.

He turned around and looked to his left, only to see that another T-34 tank following him had been destroyed.

"German tanks! It's on our left! Damn it! The Soviet commander cursed loudly, and then went on to shout: "Car No. 3!" Car No. 3! He's here with me! With me! ”

The Soviet tank, which turned the head of the car, moved along the road in front of it, where did you think that the German tanks had come around?

Therefore, when the T-34 tank on the side was paralyzed in place after the armor was pierced, the T-34 tank of the Soviet commander who was still moving exceeded the paralyzed tank wreckage next to him.

The Soviet tank, which was half exposed, stopped in place, and the turret, aiming directly in front of it, began to turn.

At this time, at the side of Karjus's leg, the loader William pulled out an armor-piercing shell and stuffed it into the chamber of the cannon.

Gun Commander Tyre pressed the motor, and his turret rotated slightly, making it easy for the enemy tank behind the wreckage to appear in his sight.

"Ready!" William let go of his hand and shouted loudly. Almost at the same moment, Tyr pressed the button to fire.

"Boom!" The 88-mm cannon of the Leopard tank fired a heavy shell that hit the side armor plate of the tank where the Soviet commander was located.

Then, at such close range, the shell pierced through the side armor of the Soviet tank without any suspense, flying with debris of steel plates in the hull.

The next second, the Soviet commander was cut to pieces by flying iron filings, and his tank exploded two seconds later.

"Boom!" There was a loud explosion in the town, and another Soviet tank was destroyed and exploded.

Looking at the new black smoke rising from the high ground from afar, Rokossovsky grabbed the radio intercom and asked loudly: "Hey? Feed? 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 2nd Guards Tank Division? Are you still not in Red Tekachi? Speak! Speak! ”

The voice that answered him was radio interference, and a creepy sinking. It took a long time for someone to answer his question.

A slightly nervous voice came, which made him both happy and worried: "I am a commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Guards Tank Division...... Comrade General, we are still in Red Tekach, but Comrade Battalion Commander may have been killed......"

Grabbing the intercom and sinking for a while, Rokossovsky pressed the switch and encouraged: "Hold on!" Comrades of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Guards Tank Division! We're going to attack it soon! ”
